2016 Ram 1500 complaints

THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS BLEEDING DOWN; WHEN YOU PART THE VEHICLE FOR 24 HOURS, THE FIRST TIME YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THERE IS NO POWER ASSIST. ONCE THE ENGINE STARTS, THE BOOST WILL RETURN. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY HAVE 4 OTHER VEHICLES ON THEIR LOT THAT HAVE THIS SAME CONDITION, SO THEY STATE THAT IT IS "NORMAL OPERATION". THIS ISN'T CONSISTENT BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER VEHICLES AS THE BOOSTER SHOULDN'T BLEED DOWN. I'M CONCERNED OF A LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED BRAKING.

THURSDAY MORNING APRIL 14 I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK. PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND START THE ENGINE. TURNED THE TRANSMISSION ROTARY KNOB ON THE DASH TO R AND BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO GO TO P FOR PARK. AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE TRUCK AND TAKING MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE TRUCK STARTING MOVING FORWARD GOING BACK INTO THE GARAGE. IT PINNED ME BETWEEN THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT AND THE GARAGE DOOR OPENING. I WAS ABLE TO REACH FOR THE KNOB AGAIN TO PUT IT BACK INTO REVERSE. IT SMASHED THE LEFT FRONT DOOR IN AND TORE THE SIDE OF GARAGE DOOR OPENING. I HAD MAJOR BRUISING ON MY BODY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WANT TO BE REASSURED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE BEFORE I DRIVE IT AGAIN. I HAVE BIG CONCERNS REGARDING THE ROTARY DESIGN FOR THE TRANSMISSION KNOB.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 450.

PURCHASED VEHICLE FOLLOWING DAY I LOOK UNDER TRUCK AND NOTICE LOTS OF CORROSION THROUGHOUT DRIVE TRAIN. I TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT MONDAY 3 DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT TRUCK AND DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER WILL NOT FIX AND ITEMS. MY CONCERN IS CORROSION WILL LEAD TO COMPONENT FAILURE OVER TIME.
